Accommodation tips

If you would like to stay with a local dancer (hosting), you can indicate this in the registration form. We will try to organize a place for you to sleep, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee this. Otherwise we recommend a hotel or hostel close to the Volkshaus Basel (Rebgasse 12-14, 4058 Basel). Public transport is free when staying in a hotel in Basel. Some public streetcars and buses run every half hour, even at night. The Claraplatz streetcar stop is right next to the Volkshaus Basel. In Basel, you usually need no more than 10-15 minutes to get from one place to another by public transport or bike sharing (first 30 minutes free).
